Jon lived life to the fullest and when he no longer could, he let life go. He was the definition of entrepreneur – starting four different businesses after a successful career in domestic and international sales. All who knew him would agree that he was one of a kind with a one of a kind quick-witted sense of humor but, most of all; he was loving, caring and kind-hearted. He truly never met a stranger. Once settling in Estes Park, he finally had time to give back – on the boards of Partners, PaCK(Parents and Community for Kids), Habitat for Humanity, FOSH, Friends of the Estes Park Museum and an active member of the Rotary Club of Estes Park. Once diagnosed, it was Jon’s mission to spread the knowledge of bipolar disease and to help anyone he could who also had the disease. Jon is survived by his wife of close to 50 years, Marsha and three of his four sisters and many, many friends. A private celebration is being planned at a later date. Donations can be made to any local charity that benefits local Youth or EPMCF with an earmark for EPMC, Home Health and Hospice or PPLC. In care of Allnutt Funeral Service 1302 Graves Ave. Estes Park, CO 80517.
The Dance:
Looking back on the memory of
The dance we shared beneath the stars above
For a moment all the world was right
How could I have known that you’d ever say goodbye
And now I’m glad I didn’t know
The way it all would end the way it all would go
Our lives are better left to chance I could have missed the pain
But I’d have to miss the dance
Holding you I held everything
For a moment wasn’t I the king
But if I’d only known how the king would fall
Hey who’s to say you know I might have changed it all
-Garth Brooks
